FOUNTAlN WRITING-PEN HOLDER.

EPBCIPICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 303,304, dated August12, 1884.

Application filed January 2.3;1884. (No model.)

To 0955 whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, hIOISI MAEooUx, of St. Eugene de Grantham, in thecounty of Dunn mond, in the Province ofQuebee, Canada, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Fountain "Writing-Pen Holders;and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exactdescription of the same.

My invention relates to pen-holders which contain within themselves aconstant supply of ink; and the objects of my invention are, first, toprovide a holder that will accommodate any size or style of pen; second,to supply an adjustable clamp for holding the pen securely in its place;and, third, to provide a regulator for controlling the'fiow of ink tothe pen, and at the same time to afford facilities for cleaning the penwhen required. I attain these objects by the device illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side view. Fig. 2 is atop view; and Fig. 3 is an end view looking from the point of the pen,and showing the ,regulater turned back, as hereinafter explained.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views.

A'represents the handle of the pen-holder. It is made hollow, so as toserve as a reservoir for the ink. It is made in two parts, which may bejoined tightly together, as at o, by a telescope-joint.

B is a hollow stem fixed securely in the end of the handle A, of whichit is simply a continuation, but very much reduced in diameter towardits outer end. On this stem are formed two crotches (3, having the armsa a,

and I), having the arms I) 1). These crotches' outer end of the stem,and on the reverse side from the crotches, is formed the standard (I, inthe upper portion of which the ink-regulator F is pivoted. Thisregulator consists, mainly, of the upright arm c, the upper extremity ofwhich is attached by the pivot f to the standard d, as shown, and theforward arm 9, the

outer extremity of which is held close to and immediately over the penat a short distance from its point.

his aspring attached to the upright arm c of the regulator, and toth'cstem B at y. This spring is so arranged that when in its normalposition it holds the base of the regulator tightly against the open endof the hollow stem and prevents the escape of the ink from the handle orreservoir A and stem B; but when writing any pressure upon the pen which-is sufficient to bend the nib upward will thereby raise the outerextremity of the for ward arm, withdraw the base i of the regulator fromthe inkoutlet of the stem B, and thus allow a small portion of the inkto llow out onto the pen.

When the pen becomes clogged and it becomes necessary to clean it, theregulator may be turned over and out of the way for that purpose, asshown in Fig 3 and by the dotted lines in Fig. 1.

j is an air-plug screwed into the handle A, and which may be withdrawnwhen it is necessary to admit ai r into the ink-reservoir, inorder toallow the ink to flow out to the pen. When the pen is not in use, thisplug should be turned as far as possibleinto the handle.

hat I claim as my invention is- I. In a fountain writing-pen holder, thestem 13, crotches G and D, having respectively the arms a a and b I),and the standard (1, sub-.

2-. In a pe11-holder, the clamp-lever E, fulcrnmed in the arms a o, andhaving the ti glitening-screw c, substantially as and for the purposeset forth.
